  Wed 15 Apr 2020

  Dear Parents and Carers

   

  I know many people have either had COVID19, suspect that they have had COVID19, or know somebody who has been seriously affected by this disease. I trust you are all as well as you can be. I know that many individuals and families have been under a lot of strain and pressure in these unprecedented times.

   

  As you will be aware from government announcements schools remain closed. However, we are open to children of key workers who have no other option but to send their children to school. We were pleased that at the end of last term that list remained minimal to ensure that as few staff as possible were needed to be in the school building. We will be open tomorrow (17/4/20) in this same limited capacity. We are expecting further advice and guidance from the Department of Education and the government later this week.

   

  Teachers will be in contact again tomorrow to ensure your child has appropriate learning activities to complete at home. If you have any concerns regarding your child’s work and learning please contact the class or form tutor first, or the teacher who sat the work in secondary.

   

  If you have any questions regarding your child’s school attendance at school please contact Mr Ralph. If you got any concerns regarding your child’s wellbeing please contact Mr Deslandes.

   

  Kind Regards

   

  Les Milton

• New Year 7 Intake September 2020

  Fri 03 Apr 2020

  I just wanted to write to you as I’m sure you have a large number of questions during this time of uncertainty. Our aim will be to try and reduce some of your anxieties about joining our school and the arrangements moving forward.

   

  None of us at present are clear on what will be happening in the coming weeks but rest assured we are constantly reviewing how we react to changing circumstances. The school website is an excellent place to look for updates.

   

  After Easter we hope we will have some idea on our direction of travel and we will set up some communication with you to enable you to ask any questions that you may have. Our aim will be to ensure that your child and yourselves are at least feeling part of our community.

   

  In conclusion, please do not worry about joining our school as we will do everything we can to make the transition as smooth and as simple as possible. Returning to school will be a new experience for all of us given the enforced break so we will all be in the same boat! Most importantly, I would like to reiterate that you have our support as a school, that we now see you as a part of our community.
